-
Step 1: In a frying pan or skillet over medium heat, heat some oil and then add the shallot and fry until golden. Transfer fried shallot to a mixing bowl to cool.
-
Step 2: To make the sauce: combine all the ingredients (sour cream - chives) in a bowl.
-
Step 3: To the bowl with the shallots add the ground lamb and paprika and season with salt and pepper, mixing with your hands. Shape into 4 patties. Dredge the burgers in the flour (it is easy to put flour in a pie dish and then dredge the burgers in the four). Shake off any excess flour.
